Dear all,
I wonder if libvirt can work on Ubuntu.
As you know, it is very convenient to install libvirt on Fedora. I can download the
libvirt packet from
libvirt.org and install it using command ./configure, make and make
install.
As I am going to install an open source simulation system named openairinterface, Ubuntu
is the recommended OS, and I want to install the simulation system in libvirt lxc. (as you
may know, there is another lxc user space tool on Ubuntu whose official website is
"https://linuxcontainers.org", which I don't want to use).
My questions are:
1) Can I install libvirt on Ubuntu with the same installation steps as on Fedora (i.e.,
manually download the tar.gz packet and install it locally)? I found a link talking about
installation libvirt on Ubuntu which installs something like "libvirt-bin"
(
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/libvirt.html). I am not sure if libvirt can be
installed following this instruction?
2) How can I create the rootfs for a Ubuntu container if libvirt can be installed on
Ubuntu? I create the rootfs for Fedora container using:
# yum --installroot=/root/fedora16linux container --releasever=19 install -y openssh,
bridge-utils".
How can I achieve this on Ubuntu?
3) If libvirt can work on Ubuntu, Can a disk file on the host OS be exposed to a Ubuntu
container just like on Fedora?
With my warmest regards,
Cheng Wang
